Part One: Latest Threats & the Impact of AI
In part one of this three-part series, we take a look at the latest cyber security threats - backed by current data and real-world trends. We also explore how AI is impacting cyber security, including a live demonstration.
Video highlights:
- Most breaches are preventable and human-driven.
- The Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) shows the top breach methods include phishing, stolen credentials, and unpatched systems. These aren't advanced attacks - they're failures of basic practices.
- Ransomware is rising, and paying doesn't solve it.
- Ransomware continues to spike. Payment is legally risk (Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) violations), doesn't guarantee recovery, and often leads to follow-up attacks.
- AI is supercharging social engineering.
- Voice cloning and generative phishing are low-cost, high-risk threats now accessible to amateurs. These attacks exploit trust, not just technology.
